Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - OECD

The Slovak Republic officially deposited the Instrument of Accession with the French Government as the depositor of the OECD (www.oecd.org) and subsequently became the member of the OECD on 14 December 2000.

The OECD is an international organization that provides a forum in which member countries can discuss the economic policies relating to sustainable economic growth, employment and environment. The main topics include pros and cons of the global economy, corporate governance issues, fight against tax fraud and evasion, tax administrative co-operation, need for adjustment of financing in economic and social fields. One of the most relevant task of the OECD includes elaboration of professional studies and statistics about main economic indicators and peer country review. The official economic surveys of the OECD member countries are published every 18 months (https://www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/)

To increase the benefits of membership of the Slovak Republic in OECD, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic (www.mzv.sk) organizes meetings of the Coordination Committee for activities of Slovakia in the OECD on the national level. There are OECD specialised committees and working groups (or fora, sub-groups, panels) which contribute to the work of the OECD. Decision-making power is vested in the OECD Council. It is made up of one representative per member country, where Slovakia is represented by Head of Permanent Mission of the Slovak Republic to the OECD.
